  1. What is beyond the CRNA position?

    angelladyclaire replied to Terpole's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  2. OB Emergencies

    angelladyclaire replied to ERNURSE4MS's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Because all people who are 5'4" and weigh 130 lbs are healthy... Not defending obesity, just saying... As a shall we say "voluptuous" woman who happens to be pregnant myself, I can vouch for the fact...

  3. "What could you know?!"

    angelladyclaire replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I find this amusing... At least a female OB/GYN, whether or not she has children, has a uterus! If having personal experience in what you're treating mattered when quality of care is concerned, all...

  4. Failed because of the HESI? Huh?

    angelladyclaire replied to jeepgirl's topic in General Nursing

    My school also required HESI tests to graduate. We had to take them every semester in order to pass certain classes and then take a final HESI before graduation. We were given three tries to pass,...

  5. Protonix IVP

    angelladyclaire replied to babynursewannab's topic in General Nursing

    We do protonix IVPB and I've never had a problem either. We run it straight through the pump with their

  6. Does anyone know much about Lupus?

    angelladyclaire replied to askater11's topic in General Nursing

    My father was diagnosed with lupus in the mid seventies and lived until 2001. He had renal failure as a result, but recieved a transplant and lived for 10 years after that. The puzzling thing about...

  7. Ever had a family overdramatic with dying patient?

    angelladyclaire replied to rn-jane's topic in General Nursing

    I think she classifies this reaction as overdramatic becasue of the fact that the family didn't seem to give a crap that the patient was dying until she was dead... If their family member was so...

  8. man holding wife still during epidural dies!

    angelladyclaire replied to smk1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Bottom line is that the father was asked to assist in the procedure. If he hadn't been "assisting" there would be no liability if he'd just fainted. I hope the new mother comes out of this filthy...

  9. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    angelladyclaire replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I've always been interested in all things medical. This comes from the fact that my dad was sick all of my life until he died when I was 19. He had Lupus which brought on ESRD. He then had a kidney...

  10. Wearing scrubs in public...

    angelladyclaire replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Has anyone thought about the fact that most germs don't live for that long outside of the host? This is why there hasn't been a problem with taking germs to and from the hospital on our scrubs. The...

  11. comfy shoes

    angelladyclaire replied to analiezel's topic in General Nursing

    I too wear crocs, but they only come in every other size like 8/9 and 10/11. I normally wear a 9 but had to buy the 10/11 because I have a long big toe :) they are pretty wide, so if you have wide...

  12. Is a BSN needed in nursing today?

    angelladyclaire replied to SierraN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the previous posters. God knows you're not doing it for the money, right? Where I work we only get $.50 more for having a BSN. If your plans are to stay where you are in your career,...

  13. pins....what do you think?

    angelladyclaire replied to rach_nc_03's topic in General Nursing

    I graduate May 13th!!!!! WOO HOO! We had to buy our own pins, but they were only like 50 bucks as compared to 75 or 100. I have kind of a unique situation though... I am graduating in the first...

  14. Have you been injured by a doctor?

    angelladyclaire replied to JustMe's topic in General Nursing

    Why are you doing this research? Are you trying to understand a personal experience or are you writing a paper for school? This seems like a very loaded question and I am interested in why you...

  15. ADN student...thinking about a "back-up" plan...

    angelladyclaire replied to sunshelley's topic in General Nursing

    Won't you need a bachelor's degree first? I would just start working on

  16. What did you buy yourself for a graduation present

    angelladyclaire replied to Nightcrawler's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I bought an '05 Kia Sportage... economical but cute. Any extra money I have is going into an IRA and toward paying bills since my husband is quitting his job to finish school once I start working!...

  17. Senioritis

    angelladyclaire replied to nurse1day's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm finding it hard to care about my grades at this point... Sadly, all I want to do is pass my classes. I graduate May 13th, and although I know it will come quickly, it seems like its forever...

  18. Grey's Anatomy Premier!!! + How to Contact Show Creators

    angelladyclaire replied to miya's topic in General Nursing

    allamericangirl's post is a prime example of what I am saying. If we lose our cool and send letters with sentences that are unreadable we make ourselves look ridiculous. Instead of losing our cool,...

  19. Grey's Anatomy Premier!!! + How to Contact Show Creators

    angelladyclaire replied to miya's topic in General Nursing

    I think the MD union would be more up in arms about how they are portrayed in media, show's like Scrubs sure make MD's look like a bunch of idiots. But as a group they are more confident in...

  20. I Took Nclex Today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    angelladyclaire replied to Ilonatizzi's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad you feel good about your NCLEX experience. Hope I feel that good in June! Good

  21. Allheart orders?

    angelladyclaire replied to Mika8's topic in General Nursing

    I too have had good experiences with allheart. Every order I have placed has come in within a week with the exception of one scrub set that I knew was on backorder when I ordered it. For those of...

  22. open visitation in ccu

    angelladyclaire replied to grits's topic in General Nursing

    I think whether to allow children to visit the CCU should be determined on a case by case basis. When I was young, my father was a frequent patient in the unit. He had SLE with complications such...
